An e-card for Ihsahn's forthcoming album, entitled "AngL", can be accessed at this location.

According to a Candlelight Records press release:

"Ihsahn's second solo album "AngL" is a continuation of the former Emperor frontman's work within the Metal genre.

Following on from his debut solo album "The Adversary", this second opus builds on the experience Ihsahn has gained as a solo artist and presents a complex and enticing tapestry: blending textures of light and dark together into an album that is at once challenging and accessible; captivating and intensely moving. Musically this album can be seen as a natural progression from "The Adversary", but with a somewhat heavier touch - incorporating the subtleties of expression explored on his debut into a more recognisably 'extreme' framework.

Drums on the album are once again handled by Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar, Spiral Architect, Hardingrock) with bass duties taken over by Asgeir's Spiral Architect colleague Lars Norberg. The track 'Unhealer' features the much anticipated collaboration of two Metal masterminds with Opeth frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt performing lead vocals.

Lyrically "AngL" deals with many personal themes, with a deep Nietzschean thread, and the intensity and richness of the album's nine epic tracks ensure that it presents much to enthral fans of all aspects of Ihsahn's music.

With "AngL" Ihsahn has presented a true statement of what he is capable of as a solo artist!"

"AngL" will be out on May 27th via Mnemosyne Productions/Candlelight Records.
